Wow! It’s just like Quicksilver only without Kevin Bacon or a hotdog stand. I’ve only watched one movie so far, The Bronx Race, but if the other videos of New York bike messengers are anything like that one, then I have to say that these guys are completely and totally nuts! This dude almost gets [...]

I went to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles today. My main goal was to take Pictures of Butterflies. The Pavilion of Wings was OK. It was a little smaller than I expected.
